GTA 5's Beach Bum DLC is Now Available on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3

Rockstar Games has released the first piece of DLC for Grand Theft Auto 5, and it's free.

Last month, the folks at Rockstar Games unveiled the first piece of DLC for Grand Theft Auto V. The update, which has been dubbed "The Beach Bum Pack," was never given an official released date, but Rockstar did say that it would hit the market sometime in November. Well, GTA super fans will be happy to discover that their favorite developer slyly released "The Beach Bum Pack" today.

If you're an Xbox 360 owner, you'll need to log into Xbox LIVE, update Grand Theft Auto V, and download the DLC. PlayStation 3 users, however, won't need to download the patch separately. It should be included in the game's 1.06 update.

The DLC will add several new vehicles, clothing items, and weapons (including a broken bottle, which Rockstar says is "perfect for any beach blanket brouhaha"). Plus, GTA Online is getting a slew of new missions. "In conjunction with today's Beach Bum update, we're also adding 30 new Jobs to GTA Online today," writes a Rockstar representative. "This includes new beach-themed Races, Deathmatches, Parachutes, Last Team Standings and Gang Attacks, plus the beachfront 'Survival on Del Perro Pier' and more."

The update also fixes a few bugs, fine-tunes GTA Online's gameplay, and adjusts several balance issues. So, it might be time to send Rockstar a thank you card.
